You're Paying For Every Square Inch Already. Might As Well Put It To Use.

Problem: Parking in D.C. is hard to find and expensive. Solution the government would like everyone to use: Ditch your car and take the Metro or ride a bike or something. Solution that actually seems to be gaining traction: People who live in the city are renting out parking spaces through apps or on Craigslist. The market solution! Because some -- a LOT of -- people are just going to want or need to drive in, and if you're paying a sky-hugh mortgage for your home in the city, that space in your driveway or yard is money.
